Foreword by the Chair of the Charity Trust Committee
On behalf of the Trustee, I am delighted to present the annual report and accounts for the East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals’ Charity 202223. Thanks to support from the local community, the charity has had another successful year and has recovered back to pre-covid levels of income and activity.
Throughout the year our clinical teams have suggested many projects and services that they felt would improve or enhance patient, staff and visitor experience, across our four hospitals and satellite sites. We have spent a combined £1.2m to deliver these benefits and more detail can be found within this report. I was particularly impressed with the new cardiovascular equipment, which means local children no longer need to travel to London for treatment. I also enjoyed seeing coverage of the therapy ponies, who visit our patients every other month, on BBC Breakfast.
As in previous years we continued to thank staff for their exceptional efforts and funded a lively thank you week in July, which included both staff awards celebrations and a free meal for all staff, with food at the Lister and MVCC donated by the wonderful Rapid Relief.
Our fundraising income was £1.1m. This was partly raised through our mass participation events programme, which we were pleased to bring back to full capacity after covid. This included the long awaited return of the Lister abseil, which saw 100 daring participants abseil down the side of our tower block. We also held Moor Park 10k and Fun Runs which saw 900 runners raising a combined £44k for Mount Vernon Cancer Centre. I was also especially pleased to open our first ever Rainbow Run which saw 320 colourful participants having fun and raising over £15k in our new flagship family focused running event, which featured on ITV Anglia News.
unit. I was proud to see the team win an award from the Chartered Institute of Fundraising for their work on this appeal.
Our largest source of funds for 2022-23 was Trusts and Foundations and we are especially grateful to these philanthropic donors who have supported projects such as our youth volunteering service, butterfly volunteer service and the planned refurbishment of Mount Vernon Postgraduate Centre. Thanks must also be given to our local community, who took on a variety of challenges, from wing walks to swimathons and bake sales to Reggae nights these have together raised over £150,000. You can read about some of these events year in ‘our year in pictures’ later on in this report.
On behalf of the trustee I’d like to thank everyone associated with the charity – our staff, volunteers, supporters and partners as we look ahead to the next year, working together to deliver above and beyond.
Thank you
Dr David Buckle
Chair of the Charity Trustee Committee On behalf of the Corporate Trustee
Special mention must also be given to our online crowd funding event, which saw us raise over £103k in 36 hours, from a massive 650 donors. Funds were raised for our sunshine appeal, taking us a step closer to building an outside terrace on our intensive care

Our charity
The Trustee presents its annual report and financial statement audited by the independent auditor for the year ended 31 March 2023, which has been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practices (FRS 102).
East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals’ Charity exists to enhance the experience for all patients within the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust (ENHT). The four hospitals we support are the Lister in Stevenage, the New QEII in Welwyn Garden City, Hertford County in Hertford and Mount Vernon Cancer Centre in Northwood, with more than 550,000 people cared for at our hospitals every year.
We raise funds to purchase the very best equipment; so that our staff can undertake cuttingedge research and to purchase those special extras - all to ensure our patients receive goldstandard treatment and care. Importantly, we only fundraise for projects that are outside of statutory funding responsibilities of the Trust. Everything we do goes above and beyond.
As always we are most grateful to our donors and the support we receive from patients saying thank you for the care they received, friends and family that wish to remember a loved one, staff fundraisers and trusts, foundations and corporates that believe in our vision.
Thank you.

Structure, governance and management
The Charity has a Corporate Trustee, the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. The NHS Trust Board of Directors, which comprises six Non-Executive Directors (including Trust Chair) and nine Directors, represent the NHS Trust in this matter. The NHS Trust Board, as Corporate Trustee, delegates responsibility (as set out in the Trusts Standing Financial Instructions) to a Board Committee, the Charity Trustee Committee (CTC). This committee meets four times a year and the Chair of the Committee reports to the Trust Board, as Corporate Trustee, following each meeting.
The strategy of the East & North Hertfordshire NHS Trust Charitable Fund is to support East & North Hertfordshire NHS Trust by providing funds to benefit patients and support staff to feel valued. It does this by purchasing supplementary and complementary equipment or services that the Trust is unable to provide funding for via exchequer sources. The Charity carries out fundraising activities and relies upon the generosity of the local community, patients and their relatives and other donors who are familiar with, or who are sympathetic and generous in their support to their local NHS service.
The Charity Director is responsible for the day-to-day management of charitable funds, working with a Charity Management Committee to ensure the funds are spent in line with service priorities and donor wishes. The Trustee relies on the Charity Management Committee to ensure the effective use of charitable funds earmarked for clinical areas by applying their local or specialist knowledge.
Our fundraising practices
By being transparent in our communications, and respectful of our supporters needs and wishes, we believe that our supporters are treated fairly, with their wishes at heart of all we do. This includes responsible use of personal data. We review all new planned fundraising activity to ensure that it is fair and that the reasons for processing data are clearly communicated. This enables supporters to control how their data is used and be confident in sharing it with us.
Protecting vulnerable people
Putting our supporters at the heart of our fundraising means also being sensitive and responsive to those people we come in to contact with during our fundraising who may be in vulnerable circumstances. We have controls in place to protect vulnerable individuals in a non-discriminatory and inclusive way, without any undue pressure or persistence and while respecting their right to privacy.
Fundraising standards
East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals Charity voluntarily subscribes to the Fundraising Regulator and its Code of Fundraising Practice. We are also a member of NHS Charities Together. We use the Code and NHSCT guidelines as a framework for training our fundraising staff. We are also signed up to the Fundraising Preference Service, which enables people to opt out of receiving fundraising communications from us. We received and actioned one requests from this service this year.
Our fundraisers
To ensure our standards are maintained and our supporters receive the best possible experience, we employ skilled fundraisers who are trained to be respectful of our supporters needs and experience and put their wishes at heart of all we do.
We monitor our fundraising activities to ensure that our supporters a have a great experience and are treated fairly. If we find cause for concern, we investigate and take appropriate action. Another way we raise funds is via local corporate partner organisations who, among other things, provide charitable contributions to us from the sale of their goods or services and fundraise from customers and employees. We carry out due diligence on our corporate partners and we expect them to follow the Code of Fundraising Practice.
We do not pay any third-party fundraisers.
Feedback and complaints
We recognise the value of listening to and learning from the feedback we receive, including complaints. In 2022/23, we received no complaints directly related to our fundraising activities. We provide details of how to contact us on our website and in our communications.
Trustee responsibility in relation to the financial statements
The Charity Trustee is responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Charity Trustee to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
observe the methods and principals in the applicable Charities SORP
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements:
-
the financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and
The objectives of the Charity are prescribed by section 93 of the National Health Service Act 1977 - in particular for any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the National Health Service wholly or mainly for the service provided by the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. All new Trustees are given appropriate induction on their responsibilities as a Trustee, as laid down in guidance by the Charity Commission. The Trustees receive training on their duties and training was delivered in-person to the Trustees on 1st February 2023 at a Trust Board Seminar.
Reports) Regulations, and of the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for the safeguarding of the assets of the Charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustee is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Charity and financial information included on the Charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.
Constitution, objects and power
Risk management
The Trustee has been appointed under section 11 of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990. The East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust Charitable Funds held on trust are registered with the Charity Commission, number 1053338.
The Charity Trustee Committee, on behalf of the Trustee, ensures that the Charity has met its obligations or risk management as set out in the Trust’s Risk Management

Strategy. It has a framework for risk identification and has reviewed the strategic business and operational risks that the Charity faces. The Trustee regularly reviews the risks and the Charity Team ensures actions are taken to mitigate the risks and monitor these. The Charity continued to review and strengthen its governance arrangements during 2022-2023. The principal risk for the charity is the risk to the generation of income and not holding enough funds available to run the charity, pay staff or deliver charitable projects. This risk remains constant is regularly reviewed by the Charity Trustees Committee and by the Trusts Risk Management Group.
Public benefit statement
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 and have due regard for the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. Our Charity’s objective is to support any charitable purpose relating to East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, including research.
The Trustees ensure that this purpose is carried out for public benefit by working to the following aim. ‘Our Charity’s core function is to make a real positive impact on patient care within our Trust. We continue to help our hospitals innovate, improve and, most importantly, provide excellent care to our community above and beyond NHS funding. By supporting great science, excellent patient care and staff well-being within the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are helping our local community to be healthier by providing the best care we can.
The Charity does not provide facilities directly to the public but provides facilities for the hospital and, in so doing, for the patients and staff of the hospitals.
Reserves and reserve policy
The Trustee recognises its obligation to ensure that funds received by the Charity should be spent effectively in accordance with the funds’ objectives. The Charity’s reserves comprise of those funds that are freely available for its general purposes. The reserves are held at a level that will ensure the charity can pay their committed expenditure. The Trustee considers it prudent that reserves should be sufficient to avoid the necessity of realising fixed assets held for the Charity’s use. The total funds held by the Charity at 31st March 2023 were £2,777k. £890k of these funds were classed as restricted leaving £1,887k as unrestricted. Within the unrestricted balance of £1,887k, £790k of funds are held for general purposes. Whilst the Charity doesn’t specify a minimum holding level, this balance is continuously monitored to ensure there is a level of funds available to ensure the financial stability of the Charity.
Investment policy
The Investment Policy is to ensure the creation of sufficient income and capital growth to enable the Charity to carry out its purposes consistently year by year with due and proper consideration of future needs and maintenance of, if possible, an enhancement of the value of the invested funds while they are retained. With regard to investments, the Trustee excludes the tobacco sector, as defined by those companies that derive their income from such
trading.
The Trustee also excludes companies that derive more than 10% of their revenues from the manufacture of alcoholic beverages, armaments, gambling, high interest rate lending or pornography.

Finance report
In the 2022/23 financial year the Charity received a total income of £1,075k - £745k of donations, grants and legacy income, £256k from other trading activities and investment income of £74k. The Charity is indebted to the generosity of patients, their families and carers, well-wishers and friends who have donated so generously to the work of the Charity.
The overall financial performance of the Charity recorded a net decrease in funds of £719k compared to the previous years decrease of £433k as the Charity aims to meet its spending objectives. The valuation of the investment fund has been valued at £258k lower than at the start of the year. This relates to economic difficulties experienced in 2022/23 which impacted investment funds.
Events since the year end and future plans
The Trustee does not expect any significant changes in the objectives of the Charity in the forthcoming year and intends to continue to manage all charitable income and expenditure within best practice guidelines of the Charities Commission. The Trustee continues to be mindful of the impact that NHS priorities may have on current charitable fund priorities.
Statement of Trustee’s responsibilities

observe the methods and principles in the
Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF EAST AND NORTH HERTFORDSHIRE NHS TRUST CHARITABLE FUND
Opinion on the financial statements
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
In our opinion, the financial statements:
We have nothing to report in this regard.
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
We have audited the financial statements of East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust Charitable Fund (“the Charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We remain independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Conclusions related to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustee with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The Trustee is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion;
-
the information given in the Trustee’s Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Trustee
As explained more fully in the Trustee responsibility in relation to the financial statements disclosure, the Trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustee is responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustee either intends to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Non-compliance with laws and regulations
Based on:
-
Our understanding of the Charity and the sector in which it operates;
-
Discussion with management and those charged with governance; and
-
Obtaining and understanding of the Charity’s policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations;
we considered the significant laws and regulations to be the The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), The Charities SORP and the Charities Act 2011.
The Charity is also subject to laws and regulations where the consequence of non-compliance could have a material effect on the amount or disclosures in the financial statements, for example through the imposition of fines or litigations. We identified such laws and regulations to be UK tax legislation.
Our procedures in respect of the above included:
-
Review of minutes of meeting of those charged with governance, being the corporate trustee, for any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
Consideration of any correspondence with regulatory and tax authorities for any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. No such correspondence was identified;
-
Review of financial statement disclosures and agreeing to supporting documentation; and
-
Review of legal expenditure accounts to understand the nature of expenditure incurred.
Fraud
deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Financial Reporting Council’s (“FRC’s”) website at:
https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Charity’s trustee, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity’s trustee those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s trustee as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
BDO LLP, statutory auditor Manchester, UK
Date: 21 December 2023
We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:
-
Enquiry with management and those charged with governance, being the corporate trustee, regarding any known or suspected instances of fraud;
-
Obtaining an understanding of the Charity’s policies and procedures relating to:
-
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud; and
-
oInternal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud.
BDO LLP is eligible for appointment as auditor of the charity by virtue of its eligibility for appointment as auditor of a company under section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006.
BDO LLP is a limited liability partnership registered in England and Wales (with registered number OC305127).
-
Review of minutes of meeting of those charged with governance, being the corporate trustee, for any known or suspected instances of fraud;
-
Discussion amongst the engagement team as to how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements; and
-
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
Based on our risk assessment, we considered the areas most susceptible to fraud to be through a management override of controls in relation to journals or estimates; or donations, legacies or grants income not being complete.
Our procedures in respect of the above included:
-
Testing a sample of journal entries throughout the year, which met a defined risk criteria, by agreeing to supporting documentation;
-
Considering whether there are any significant estimates made by management. None were identified; and
-
Performing substantive completeness testing for a sample of each of the donations, legacies and grants income streams.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve

Notes to the Accounts
Note 1 Accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to the accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities” preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), effective 1 January 2019; and the Charities Act 2011.
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
The Trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
(b) Funds structure
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed. There are nineteen restricted funds held by the Charity, of which 4 have insignificant balances. The names of the fourteen funds over £1k and their purpose are disclosed in note 11.1 to the accounts.
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the Trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.
(c) Income recognition
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised when the Charitable Trust has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the Charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the Charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield of the investment portfolio.
(d) Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more information on this attribution refer to note (f) below.
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Charitable Trust. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the one-year or multi-year grant. Grant awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the Trust.
(e) Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.

Notes to the Accounts (cont.)
(f) Allocation of support and governance costs
Support and governance costs have been allocated between expenditure on raising fund and charitable activities. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the Charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.
Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned based on the number of individual grant awards made in recognition that the administrative costs of awarding, monitoring and assessing research grants, salary support grants and postgraduate scholarships are broadly equivalent. The allocation of support and governance costs are analysed in note 3.4.
(g) Costs of raising funds
The costs of generating funds consist of Fundraiser salaries, merchandise purchases, raffle prizes and lotto winnings as well as direct costs to events as shown in note 3.1. Also included is the allocated support and governance costs.
(h) Charitable activities
Costs of charitable activities include allocated governance costs, capital expenditure and an apportionment of support costs as shown in note 3.2.
(i) Fixed asset investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The main form of financial risk faced by the Charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
(j) Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
(k) Accounting judgements and estimates
The Trustee does not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure.
